I have been watching him play since he was a 7th grader and he has been phenomenal and every year he brings something new to the floor. I have seen him dog the ball the length of the floor and i have seen play the high post and do work against a zone. He has hit big shot after big shot. The way he takes command of the offense is just impressive. Lowe can also control the tempo of a game. He can speed things up or just calm everyone down. He is very explosive and he might the best low to the ground attacking guard in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278448"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68a1160a0e994"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rueckert might be on his revenge tour after an early exit in last years playoffs. He has all the tools and skill set to just go biz irk this year. Would love to see him just be in kill mode and have zero mercy against any team. We could see a monster, a monster that could duplicate what he does at the high school level at the college level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1786751"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68a1160a0e9e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you haven't seen this kid play he is gong to surprise you. Serre moves well, he shoots the ball and he attacks the rim. If he can continue to get stronger and quicker there is no reason why he could not land at a big time school next year. He is a big key for Wasatch to make a run at state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2306605"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68a1160a0ea2a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the best kept secrets that had somewhat of a coming out party this club season. Suguturaga is one of the best two way players in the state as a wing. He has been in take over mode this summer and he might need to be that way this coming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278450"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68a1160a0ea72"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Drisdom as the lead guard has a lot of decisions to make this coming season. He has a lot of weapons and he will have the ball in his hands a lot. Drisdom has to move the ball but also be aggressive. Highland could be a team that wins it all and with a senior running the show like Drisdom he just becomes very important. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Others:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1278439' first='Jamyn' last='Sondrup'] || Springville ||</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1966069' first='Jaxen' last='McCuistion'] || Timpanogos ||</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1598261' first='Jaxon' last='Brown'] || Pleasant Grove ||</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1959042' first='Bryson' last='Watson'] || Woods Cross ||</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Beckham Bayless || Cyprus ||</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
